Dirt 4 vr

As they have stated its not supported, do you think this is acceptable and will it harm the franchise.
Vr is a new tech now in the real world its being raved about and is quite awesome.
So i still think im gunna boycott codemasters for abit.
Its companies like this that deserve to fail with a game.
So far i think vr is a hit.
And to deliver a racing game that does not run vr is basically stupid.
I bet eberyone with a headset has dirt rally which is sooo gunna be enough to cover costs n make profits.
But tbh at this stage i still think a vr only sim game should be done optimised just for vr nithing else.
They could add dlc to make it up of sales amd it will be sucessful.
Dlc extras is ok with me as the work gone into a game is by far a small price to pay at £40-50.
This is a top game maker and should be leading the tech forward.
Its a joke tbh.

Going by the usual standard of games on release date ,,it will probably need a million updates till it reaches a level of completion anyways ,,, so i'm guessing they will definitely release VR but it's probably going to be after they have sorted out all the other bugs and wot not ,,,,

But i'm with you F1iceman ,,,,i won't be buying till VR is thrown in there too..

I'm hoping they put it in later down the line they are mad no to !!!

Did they start developing it 5 years ago not to have VR support from the start??
I can tell you they're losing a lot of sales... at least ours

I was so looking forward to this however with no VR it may as well not exist. To be honest I'm deeply pissed off with them for not putting VR in from the start as they have already done it for Grid 2 and DirtRally so its not like they don't know what they are doing.

No VR no buy for me

Add me to the list. If a sim doesn't have VR support, I'm out until it does. Just that simple.

I feel sad for you hmd guys but it makes me feel better about not upgrading yet from 3dVision and my 67" DLP monitor since new titles usually work with it whether or not they officially support 3dVision or not. Dirt3 with 3dVision is fantastic but I don't have Dirt4 yet.

Edit: After checking Dirt4 rated "Excellent" for 3dVison.

No need to feel sorry for me at least. I've already got more to do in VR than I have time to do. At this point in VR, I think especially for cockpit sims, if a title doesn't have VR support it either will eventually or else it will have decreasing sales.

I guess in a way the roles have flipped. It used to be the monitor guys saying no way they would ever go VR and there are still some of those. But more and more VR guys are now saying they won't go back to monitors. You'll see a lot of that sentiment if you check the various VR boards.

I wouldn't go back to just a flat screen without 3d either. So I understand why VR guys feel that way. But imo 3dVision doesn't get the credit its worth because many never tried it or if they did they weren't using the necessary hardware in order to have a great initial experience. It took several years after it was released before the proper hardware caught up and there were large monitors like I use that were available and by then the buzz was over and it's effectiveness tarnished. Also all 3d capable dlp monitors that were fantastic for large 3d rendering were discontinued in 2008 and thats about when the gpu's were getting fast enough for good 3dvision.

I'm looking forward to getting a vr hmd someday but really don't feel I'm missing anything atm. In fact its the opposite. I get 1920x1080 @ 60htz per eye resolution in perfectly rendered 3d and at 5foot from my eyes a 67" screen fills my entire vision when focused on driving. It's completely immersive especially with trackir and works with about every title there is. So I'm still waiting for now until vr tech has had more time to improve and is more widely supported so I don't miss out on games like Dirt4.

@BlazinH - I totally get the 3D screen thing even though I don't have one myself. I have tried them, though. Those would make monitor driving and flying probably very much like VR in many ways. If I wasn't running VR, that's what I would be running. I was only saying for me, I don't want to go back to regular monitors. I get too much of a kick being able to get out of my plane or car and see it from the outside, walk around it for as much space as I have to be able to do that, get back in and go. It's not much of an experience compared to overall flying and driving, but it leaves me with an experience that's hard to beat. And regular monitors and triples setups rock too! I wasn't knocking any other experiences or people's setups. I was just saying that for me, if a sim doesn't support VR, it's off the table until it does. The way I'm setting up my motion platform, I can't do monitor stuff anyway. No room or provision for a monitor.

Yep - No VR = no purchase. I could not go back to monitors, 3D or not, as so much immersion is lost and with the availability of motion cancellation, it is just one more nail in the coffin for monitors. IMO the next generation of HMDs with a higher pixel density will punch in the final nail.

It's just that when I first used 3dvision it was a jaw dropping experience which I assume is the same for first time users of VR also that haven't already experienced great quasi VR for years like I have. So I'm not sure if I will have another similar jaw dropping experience when I try hmd's. Also I've experienced the screen door effect in the past too but not with my current setup and don't wish to go back to that again either.

I think they will definately support vr. They are probably just behind and want to get the game out. Plus doing it after the launch they can watch the money come in from vr directly like they did with playstation. Maybe this could give them a better idea of how to financially approach vr in the future.

when I see the cockpit modeled like this vs dirt rally I think its pretty obvious they are gearing up for vr. I'll hold out until the "real" game is launched.

It sure is looking pretty nice ,

Ill say this, if we don't get a motion plugin for it until the "real" game is launched then even though it will work with 3dVision I'll be holding out too. No motion no play!

It would be great if there was at least Vorpx support for Dirt 4 but I cant find anything to suggest Vorpx would work either.
I hope they provide VR support at some point.

I have tried with vorpx it's a no go

I had a feeling that was the case but thanks for saving me the disappointment of buying the game to find out. I would definitely buy it if / when it has a VR patch, but for now no VR = no purchase, at least until I can afford a 3 TV screen set up.
